The Only Hope.

The people, regardless of party, are
looking to the Democrats to restore to
the public domain the stolen lands. to
prosecute real, good-faith civil service
reform, which is generally recognized
as necessary to the safety of the Cow
eminent, open and decided opposition
to monopoly, 10 pluiocracy, TO corrup'
ton in Office and in elections. Just in
the proportion that the party adheres
strictly to the carrying out Of these re-
forms and principles will 1t gain the
hearty support Of the honest tGiling
masses. Should the party prove recre-
ant to the trust and disappoint the
high hopes OF HE masses who are look
ing TO il for remedies for existing evils,
it will be relegated TO the blcK ground,
as il should be. 1t il hoped, however,
that there will he no room for com

that characterizes the average modern

his visit, and while on his trip met
many old acquaintance. The Stand.
ard PUBLISHED at Cincinnati, Kan.
has this to say of our esteemed coun.
lyman:
"Prof. W. b. Hayward, of sulphur Springs.
KY, father of our fellow townsman Wilbur
I. Hayward, has been in the city for the past

most prominent men, having been connect

LEGISLATIVE

The Courier,Joupnal not long since
predicted a short session of the com.
ing Legislature, and now seeing
signs of a longer session, it says:
"The senatorial election will not occupy
much time, as 1t can be settled with one bal
lot. The race for the speakership seems tn
be between two gentlemen who are making
an active canvass, and II is not probable
there will be much delay in determining
who is the strongest man.
"After that, there are certain questions.
such as amendments TO the assessment laws
and pressing amendments to our criminal
code, that need consideration. These, with
due regard for our Educational, charitable in
situations, give ample opportunity for care
full Legislators to distinguish themselves
Our public institutions must be attended to-;
their condition is an index to the character
of our people. and our character for intelli-
gence and philanthropy must not be injured.
But these public acts consume only n
small proportion of the session of the Legls-
lature. The difficulty comes from local and
special legislation. Unless some man will
take n bold stand and enter his protest
against all such laws, IL may be possible
that the next Legislature will be employed
with them, as the past Legislatures have
been, and that the members, in order to
have passed measures OF their own, will con-
sent to support measures of Others"
No one argues that there is any
necessity for a session longer than
the Constitutional limit, but when
we consider the embryo Congressman
who will have seats in that august
body, and think of the records that
have to be made, we must confess
that, however much we would like
to see it, how little we expect a short
session. There is too much legisla-
ton for the good of the people.

JENNY JUNE, the COurier-JoUndPs
New York fashion correspondent, in
a recent article on the changes in the
styles for the coming winter, says:
ain the nineteenth century, 1t isa matter
OF reproach to all women, that some Will
continue to make distortions and caricatures
of themselves, so that they are subjects OF
ridicule, as they walk in the street, TO idle
men who stand OH the corner or look out of
club windows. The true fashion of this
season demands no such sacrifice of dig
nifty and seemliness; it is at least capable of
being modest, graceful and becoming; and
the exaggerated hump represents 1t as little
asa brazen exposure OF bust does the elegance
of the approved evening dress"
